It's been awhile I bake some cupcake. I still have plenty of matcha powder(green tea) sitting around my pantry.Green tea powder is thought to be one of the healthiest forms of green tea since you're consuming the whole tea leaf rather than just the liquid extracted from the leaves.Measurements of green tea powder's antioxidant capacity has been shown to be many times higher than the antioxidant activity of such antioxidant rich foods as blueberries and chocolate. There is plenty of green tea cake recipe out there but I just use one of my regular cake recipe and modify it to suit my taste.Regardless, a green tea cake makes a wonderful dessert for snack time! Enjoy!

The Secrets of MatchaWith the popularity of Matcha Green Tea, more and more people are wondering just where this team comes from and what exactly makes it so special. "Matcha is a Japanese word that basically means "powdered tea." Not surprisingly, this tea originated in Japan and has been used in tea ceremonies for hundreds of years. Matcha is a unique form of powdered green tea which means that when you drink matcha tea, you are actually consuming the whole tea leaf. This makes Matcha a lot different from other sorts of tea leaves which are put into boiling water to create an infusion, and then removed. With Matcha, you are able to utilize the absolute maximum health advantages of the tea leaves.Whenever you consume matcha tea, you will be consuming a great deal of nutrients simply because you are ingesting the entire leaf rather than just the brewed water. Chlorophyll, fiber, and antioxidants are a few of the nutritional components contained within matcha which may do amazing things to improve your health. Matcha itself is sugar-free which makes it an ideal drink for diabetics as well as making matcha green tea lovers not as likely to have high blood sugar as folks who drink beverages loaded with sugar. The sheer amount of antioxidants in Matcha is higher than that in many foods considered to be "super antioxidants" like pomegranates and blueberries. Those antioxidants help to cleanse the body of toxins and may help to not only slow the signs of aging but also prevent some forms of cancer. Some other vitamins and minerals contained within matcha are thiamin, iron, calcium, potassium, riboflavin, niacin, foliate, vitamins K, E, C, B6, and A among others.Matcha green tea is considered by many to be the very best quality tea in the entire world. For anyone who is anxious to take their first taste of matcha tea, and for the folks who have been longtime fans, let's take a look at the different kinds of Matcha. There are two basic kinds of matcha tea: Usucha, (Thin) and Koicha (Thick). Usucha comes from tea plants which are under fifteen years old which gives usucha a stronger and slightly more bitter flavor than koicha. Usucha is the more common type of matcha tea, so it is often the first type that novice tea drinkers encounter. Koicha derives from the young leaves of older, (at least 30 years old) plants. Koicha matcha green tea is generally more expensive and certainly a finer quality. It provides a sweeter, mellower, very distinctive flavor. Matcha is traditionally prepared without milk, sugar, or honey, but you can certainly prepare it to suit your own tastes. Matcha is also a great addition to baking and cooking.
